Agency is the ability and privilege God gives us to choose and to act for ourselves. Agency is essential in the plan of salvation. Without agency, we would not be able to learn or progress or follow the Savior.

What Is Agency? God has given His children the ability and privilege to “act for themselves and not to be acted upon” (2 Nephi 2:26). This means we can choose whether or not to obey God’s commandments. We will experience consequences—good or bad—for our choices. God described this gift as “moral agency” (Doctrine and Covenants 101:78).
We teach that agency is the ability and privilege God gives us to choose and “to act for [ourselves] and not to be acted upon.” Agency is to act with accountability and responsibility for our actions. Our agency is essential to the plan of salvation.
Agency (also referred to as free agency or moral agency), in the theology of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), is "the privilege of choice which was introduced by God the Eternal Father to all of his spirit children in the premortal state". [1]
Agency is the ability each person has to choose right or wrong—or, put another way, the ability to either follow God or not. Being able to direct our own lives and make our own choices is one of the greatest gifts God has given us.
To be an agent means both being able to choose and having to choose either "liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator" or "captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil" ( 2 Ne. 2:27-29; 10:23 ).
Agency is the key word Latter-day Saints use to describe this free-will nature of our beings. Readers of the Book of Mormon are aware of the lasting effects of agency in the pervasive struggles between the Nephite and Lamanite descendants of Lehi.
